Life BC (before cell phones) was better. It seems to me that life has gotten more complicated. Nowadays people are tied to jobs with a cell phone and an employer has access to an employee during hours normally reserved for family time. It’s not just work ties though, it’s also other relationships. Friends think theyContinue reading “Life BC”

Gifts
Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received. Gifts can be a problem. You’re obligated to like them even if you don’t. I once received for a Christmas present the worst gift ever because it was from a family member. I had to smile and say thank you. It was a plastic candy caneContinue reading “Gifts”
Undeserving of grace
If there was a biography about you, what would the title be? I didn’t deserve God at all. How I managed to escape the life I chose is incredibly miraculous. I tried to do life on my own for scores and I just kept getting worse. But God intervened when I humbled myself and criedContinue reading “Undeserving of grace”
I’d change this law
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why? The law of sin and death is harsh. We are born into sin because of one man so we die. Thanks a lot Adam. However God in his mercy, sent Jesus so that through one man all may live eternallyContinue reading “I’d change this law”

Will I win?
What would you do if you won the lottery? I can’t win because I don’t buy tickets. I don’t put my hope in money. I put my hope in God. It seems the more money a person has, the more miserable they are. In the outside they seem happy, but inside they struggle with relationshipsContinue reading “Will I win?”
Seeing but blind
People can be so blind. They can see something right in front of them, but not see it. Roman historian Tacitus is an example of this. He despised the Jewish people and called them adjectives I won’t repeat in this post, but his record of the 70 AD destruction of the temple in Jerusalem contained somethingContinue reading “Seeing but blind”
I hope everyone knows this already
What is your mission? In the garden of Eden, the serpent came to Eve and tempted her, and she ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Then she shared it with her husband, Adam. It was at that point sin entered the world. From one man’s sin , we wereContinue reading “I hope everyone knows this already”
Who would be that nice?
What is the greatest gift someone could give you? In this world, people want things, but don’t need them. There are things we need like food, water, air, clothing, shelter, and sleep. Then there are things that we simply want but don’t need. So is the question referring to a need or a want? I’mContinue reading “Who would be that nice?”
